[PATCH] ia64: fix sparse warnings with cmpxchg() & xchg()

From: Luc Van Oostenryck
Date: Sun Jun 05 2022 - 12:08:23 EST


On IA64, new sparse's warnings where issued after fixing
some __rcu annotations in kernel/bpf/.

These new warnings are false positives and appear on IA64 because
on this architecture, the macros for cmpxchg() and xchg() make
casts that ignore sparse annotations.

This patch contains the minimal patch to fix this issue:
adding a missing cast and some missing '__force'.

Note: This patch is only compile tested on defconfig. The corresponding
binary is unchanged (except some .rodata with the kernel version)
as it should be.
